Week 45 - Safe at Home!

Home Sweet Home. There truly is nothing like it.

It's always chaotic whenever there's a move, and inevitably there comes a period of adjustment as you get used to a new place. For new homeowners, it requires getting used to the new sounds and feels of a new home. If you're moving to a new area altogether, sometimes it takes awhile to learn the routes, and what is the most efficient way to get from here to there. And there's certainly a lot of boxes to go through! Still, that first moment, when you can settle back in your chair and look around and sigh and say "We're Here" really feels special.

Moving an office is really no different, as the Parish Staff found out this week. It was chaotic getting everything from A to B that needed to move. There were new sounds and feels, including the climate controls which will require some learning and patience on the part of the staff. And oh, the boxes!

The adjustment period will continue -- for the parishioners as well as the staff -- but for now, our parish family can sit back and have that sigh. We're here.

It's appropriate, then, that our new modern parish office should come with a new modern parish website. Just as with the parish center, the new look is ready, but the last of the features are still coming online, so please be patient. It will be worth the wait -- the new site brings with it new email addresses for the staff, a new electronic parish calendar, and an electronic archive of past bulletins, as well as up-to-date information on the groups and ministries around the parish.

The next phase in the journey of our parish family is now beginning. There will still be some adjustments to make, some final tweaks to complete, and some necessary changes in how the parish operates, but with your help, cooperation, and patience, we will accomplish great things!

There's no place like home!
